EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling Great Western Railway Station in Bristol, circa 1842. The coloured lithograph, skillfully created by G. Hawkins Jnr after S. C. Jones, beautifully captures the grandeur and architectural marvel of this iconic transportation hub. As we gaze upon the image, our eyes are drawn along the platforms that stretch out before us. The stonework and large windows create an atmosphere of elegance and sophistication. It is a testament to the visionary genius of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, whose innovative designs revolutionized railway engineering. In the foreground of this snapshot from history stands a locomotive on one of the platforms, ready to embark on its journey. To its right rests a horse-drawn carriage laden with cargo—a reminder of how different modes of transport coexisted during this era. Beneath this remarkable scene lies an inscription detailing fascinating facts about the station's dimensions: "Interior of the Great Western Railway Station, Bristol // Extreme Width 110ft width between columns 12ft // Length 130ft Height of columns 18ft 9 ins Extreme Height 35ft 9ins". These figures serve as a testament to both Brunel's ambition and his ability to bring his visions into reality. This print transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand the magnificence and innovation that defined Britain's railway system during its golden age.
